A comprehensive fixed income portfolio analytical package for bank portfolio managers, securities dealers, and related entities. BondRisk's in-depth risk measurement allows users to determine overall risk levels quickly, and offers built in analytical tools that streamline the process of evaluating alternative investment strategies. Our portfolio calculations are used by over 500 banks on a monthly basis.

SwapRisk is a robust and highly customizable bond swap model which projects expected portfolio book yields and income generated by one portfolio of prospective sell side bonds to another portfolio of prospective buy side bonds under 9 shocked interest rate scenarios plus forward rate capabilities. The analytical tool will handle up to 100 securities on the buy and sell side (200 total). SwapRisk has additional capabilities which allow the user to optimize the sale bond and buy bond subsets based on months to break even, or maximum benefit for a selected time horizon under any or all selected rate scenarios.

Allows for aggregated monitoring of client holdings and includes an alert for maturing and called securities as well as search capabilities based on CUSIP or other security specific parameters. The software is fully integrated with BondRisk and SwapRisk for efficiency.

Integrated with Bloomberg API and R2Metrics calculation engines, Offering Sheets presents in a one or two page (for municipal bonds) format a succinct but comprehensive overview of important descriptive and analytical information that can help an investor make informed pre-purchase decisions on differing investments. Independently provided analytics have recently become a regulatory requirement for bank portfolio managers.

Compares yield and earnings generated by an individual security or a portfolio of securities to future expected financing or forward rates. The user can also shock forward rates and change the investments expected workout date if needed. This tool is used to determine relative profitability of securities under forward rate scenarios so the salesman or analyst can select bonds that produce the most earnings over the relevant time horizon.

A one page compilation of relevant money market rates such as swap markets, forward rates, investment curves, and cap and floor prices. Easy to follow and understand and ideal for bank CEO’s and CFO’s. Many bankers rely on these market rates to price fixed rate loans and deposits.
